Throttle Lever

Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle controls could cause an accident. Never start or operate an ATV that has a sticking or improperly operating throttle. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Always check the lever for free movement and return before starting the engine. Also check

occasionally during operation.

Modifications to the throttle release switch could result in failure to perform as designed, which could result in an accident. Do not attempt to modify the throttle release switch or replace it with any after market throttle mechanisms. Always ensure that the throttle cable is installed and properly routed to the throttle release switch.

Engine speed and vehicle movement are controlled by pressing the throttle lever. The throttle lever is spring loaded. Engine speed returns to idle when the lever is released. This ATV is equipped with a throttle release switch, which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the throttle cable should stick in an

open position when the operator releases the throttle lever, engine speed will be limited, and power to the rear wheels will be reduced.

WARNING

(29)

Brake Lever

Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling brake lever. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.

Squeeze the brake lever toward the handlebar to apply the front and rear brakes. These brakes are hydraulically activated disc type brakes that are activated by only one lever.

Always test brake lever travel and master cylinder fluid level before riding. When squeezed,

the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

(30)

28

Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of brake failure, which could result in an accident. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

Check the brake fluid in the master cylinder before each ride. 1. Position the ATV on a level

surface.

2. Position the handlebars so the master cylinder is level. 3. View the brake fluid level

through the indicator win-dow on the top of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full. When fluid is low, the eye will be clear.

4. If the fluid level is low, remove the cover screws and add fluid to the fill line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to 7 in. lbs. (.8 Nm).

WARNING

(31)

Parking Brake

Locking the Parking Brake 1. Place the transmission in

PARK.

2. Squeeze and release the brake lever two or three times, then squeeze and hold.

3. Push the parking brake lock forward to engage the lock. 4. Release the brake lever.

5. To release the parking brake lock, squeeze and release the brake lever. It will return to its unlocked position.

WARNING! Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged could result

in an accident or fire. Always check to be sure the parking brake is disengaged before operating.

The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling. Always block the wheels on the downhill side of the ATV if leaving it parked on a hill. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill position. Never depend on the parking brake alone if the ATV is parked on a hill. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.

(32)

30

Auxiliary Foot Brake

Never back down a hill. Applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.

Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury or death.

The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the main brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary foot brake.

The auxiliary foot brake is located on the inside of the right footrest. Operate this brake with your right foot.

If the rear wheels slide while using the auxiliary brake, reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding.

Brake Fluid Level

Check the brake fluid level fre-quently for the auxiliary brake sys-tem. The reservoir is located under the front rack.

Maintain the fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

NOTICE: Do not use ADC fluid in the

brake fluid reservoir. ADC fluid will damage the rubber components of the brake system. WARNING Auxiliary Foot Brake Brake Fluid Reservoir

All Wheel Drive System

The All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the 4X4 switch. ADC 4X4 Mode

When the switch is on ADC 4X4, the ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the vehicle descends a hill or incline. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or descending a hill. See page 33.

4X4 Mode

When the switch is on 4X4, the ATV is in 4X4, and the 4X4 indi-cator icon in the instrument clus-ter display will be visible. When in 4X4, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.

There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in 4X4. The vehicle automatically engages 4X4 when operating in reverse if the switch is set to either 4X4 position.

2X4 Mode

When the switch is on 2X4, the ATV is in two-wheel drive at all times.

All Wheel Drive System

Engaging 4X4

The 4X4 switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable 4X4 until the engine RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, 4X4 remains enabled until the 4X4 switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engage the 4X4 switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to 4X4.

NOTICE: Switching to 4X4 or ADC 4X4 while the rear wheels are spinning may

cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to 4X4 or ADC 4X4 while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.

Active Descent Control (ADC) System

The ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the vehicle descends a hill or incline. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or descending a hill.

Engaging Active Descent Control

The ADC system will automatically engage when all four of the follow-ing conditions occur:

• The 4X4 switch must be in the ADC 4X4 position • Vehicle speed must be 15 mph (25 km/h) or less • The throttle must be closed (throttle lever released) • The transmission must be in gear (high, low or reverse)

Disengaging Active Descent Control

The ADC system will automatically disengage if at least one of the fol-lowing conditions occur:

Failure to operate the ATV properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s manual.

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new POLARIS ATV is the first 20 hours of operation. No single action on your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will

damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of use.

Engine and Drivetrain Break-in

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 31. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.

2. Check the engine oil level on the dipstick. See page 89. Add oil if necessary to maintain the level between the safe and add marks. 3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to

famil-iarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 54. 6. Pull only light loads.

7. Change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours.

8. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
